ASSESSING ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN EU MEMBER STATES -- DECOMPOSITION ANALYSIS.

The article presents a detailed decomposition analysis of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in European Union (EU) member states, using Index Decomposition Analysis (IDA) with the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method. Topics include the differences in emissions and energy use between wealthier and less affluent EU countries, the impact of economic activity on these factors, and the need for tailored approaches and policies to achieve climate neutrality within the region.
